Shia Rights Watch

09/12/2026

Shia Rights Watch has submitted urgent information to United Nations Special Procedures concerning reported detentions and actions affecting Khatam al-Nabiyyin Seminary and Shia community institutions in Kabul.

Reports describe the detention of teachers and students, the evacuation and takeover of the seminary, and further actions involving Shia religious scholars and community representatives. The whereabouts, legal status and condition of some reportedly detained people remain unclear.

SRW is asking UN experts to seek immediate clarification from the Taliban de facto authorities, ensure the safety and due-process rights of those detained, and examine whether these incidents form part of broader restrictions affecting Afghanistan’s Shia community.

A property dispute must be resolved through transparent legal procedures. It must not become a justification for arbitrary detention, discrimination or interference with religious education and community life.

🚨 بيان إدانة واستنكار | المنظمة الدولية للدفاع عن حقوق الشيعة
تواصل السلطات البحرينية سياستها الممنهجة في استهداف المكون الشيعي، وذلك باعتقال علماء الدين وتجريد عشرات المواطنين من جنسيتهم في خطوة تُعدّ انتهاكاً صارخاً للقانون الدولي.
إن تحويل الجنسية إلى أداة للعقاب السياسي والطائفي يُرتّب مسؤولية قانونية دولية على المنامة أمام هيئات الأمم المتحدة.
📢 نطالب بـ:
🔹 التراجع الفوري عن قرارات سحب الجنسية
🔹 الإفراج عن علماء الدين المعتقلين
🔹 تدخل الأمم المتحدة والمجتمع الدولي
🔹 فتح تحقيق دولي مستقل
